“…Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a member of the PHA family and is the best-characterized polymer. The properties of pure PHB such as hydrophobicity, inertness, thermoplastic processability, a relatively high melting point, and optical purity make PHB an attractive alternative to synthetic plastics [2,4]. The materials such as PHB have other advantages over synthetic plastics including biodegradability (to water and carbon dioxide or methane) by a variety of microorganisms under anaerobic conditions in many ecosystems and the possibility of production from renewable sources [5,6].…”
